The Blogo’Shawn

Heeeeey - I am back to posting in my blog after a lil silent spell - at least I think I am.  I really should update this more…and, yes, I realize how terribly cliché this is to type into a blog, ha!  Actually I really have plenty to write about regarding nightlife and multi-hued adventures experienced throughout the city…hmm, I really should be writing spicy exposés - the things I see and hear can be truly outrageous!

Well I went to Scott Beale’s bodacious Laughing Squid party last night and enjoyed myself mightily, so mega props to Scott for going to such exertion to throw a fantabulous soiree where we had plenty to look at and talk about!  Scott’s dedication to bolstering the SF tech and art communities is beyond commendable and it is such an achievement to be a prolific contributor for so many years!  Cheers to Scott!!

Now I must admit, I had to warm up a bit again to mixing with the Web2.0 world, because I’ve kept myself busy and out of it largely for the last many weeks.  Dunno, I think I overdid it going to so many functions and needed a breather, a break from swilling the collective Kool-Aid, and what a better time than when you’re focusing on a new endeavor and desirous of gaining a renewed, personal perspective upon online potential, one beyond what’s propagated in the midst of the bubble.  More and more, I recognize how essential it is to extend a service’s reach beyond the Valley and into the fabric of real peoples’ lives, the kind of people who don’t relish camping out all day on computers because they are leading staggeringly busy/intense lives with obligations.  Deliver a service to them that really enhances the quality of their spare time and you stand a chance of enduring.  And develop a business model that goes beyond unpredictable online advertising and you’ll be that much stronger in the long run.  Anyways feeling renewed and more inclined to join the fray again.
